This week on The Hockey News On The 'Q' Podcast with Will MacLaren and guest co-host Patrick McNeil, play-by-play commentator for the Cape Breton Eagles: - The Cape Breton Eagles are second-last in the QMJHL with an 8-12-2-1 record. They did somewhat better in the past 10 games with five wins, four regulation losses and a shootout loss, so what can the team take from this past stretch to move onward? - The Halifax Mooseheads are making a push to the top by acquiring Josh Lawrence from Blainville-Boisbriand. He's in his fifth QMJHL season and has 32 points in 25 games so far. - The Eagles theme continues as Xavier Daigle is the 2023 NHL draft-eligible prospect of the week. The rookie blueliner has 12 points in 23 games for Cape Breton so far this season. - The Seattle Kraken are profiled this week. They only have one prospect still in the QMJHL, and that's right winger Jacob Melanson of the Acadie-Bathurst Titan. The fifth-round pick in 2021 has averaged more than a point per game for the past three seasons in the 'Q'. Seattle Kraken's QMJHL Prospect and Alumni - And more.
